Miley Cyrus, bless her heart 🙄, has always been one to forge her own lane in the music industry, mostly by crashing into other people’s lanes, amirite? And her approach to promoting her 2023 album, Endless Summer Vacation, was no different. She basically invented the art of doing absolutely nothing, and we’re all just living in her shadow. 💅
Notably, during the album cycle, Cyrus never went on tour or did an extensive press junket. Like, who needs to work when you can just chill and rake in the dough? 🤑 Now, Cyrus has revealed the reason why she took a more relaxed approach to promoting the album compared to her past works. Spoiler alert: It involves a beach, a bikini, and zero effort. 🏖️
The “Flowers” singer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 4 where she spoke about her approach to promoting Endless Summer Vacation, saying that she deliberately titled the album so that she could embody the album’s aesthetic and go on a vacation. Genius, right? Why didn’t we all think of that? 🧠
“I cleverly titled my last album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ so then I could be on vacation and that could be part of my aesthetic,” Cyrus revealed. Because, you know, the rest of us can’t just go on vacation without calling it “work.” 🙄
While some of Cyrus’ fans were confused for her lack of traditional promotion for the album, Cyrus shared that was all part of her plan. However, the singer shared that part of the reason that she did promote the project was the fact that she was already working on her newly released album, Something Beautiful. So basically, she was too busy being productive to actually promote her current album. Makes sense. 🤷♀️
“So all I had to do was take pictures of me in a bathing suit and be like, ‘ESV!’ and that was the promo. All my fans were like, ‘You’re not promoting this album!’ I was like, ‘I’m making the next one, people!’” Cyrus told Fallon. Translation: “I’m too cool for school, and you’re all just peasants.” 👑
Something Beautiful was released on May 30 and has drawn generally favorable reviews from critics. Because apparently, just slapping the words “Something” and “Beautiful” together is enough to impress people these days. 🎨 The project was promoted by the single “End of the World” as well as the recently released “Easy Lover.” Because what better way to promote an album than with songs about the apocalypse and infidelity? 💔
